Chapter 209: Duel? With Zan Zan?!
Chapter 209: Duel? With Zan Zan?!
The two emerging talents quickly attracted the attention of the Fatui upper echelons, and their detailed background information was soon presented to Piero.
"Tartaria...seems to have appeared out of nowhere, but she knows a lot about Zhidong, and her personality is straightforward, so she can be used."
Turning to the next page, Cheng Yan's harmless and even childish face appeared in front of Piero.
His brows furrowed slightly as he remembered what he had found out when he investigated Dotore in Xumi.
Picking up the thin piece of paper, Piero stood up and wanted to find Dottore.
A snow-white crystal on the table suddenly flashed.
His expression became serious, and Piero picked up the crystal. When he got closer, he could hear a rustling sound coming from inside the crystal.
"Piero, I need your help with something."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Although the other party couldn't see him, Piero still raised his hand to his chest, with a very serious expression and posture.
"It's time to add new members to our executive team."
The woman on the other side raised her voice and seemed to be in a good mood.
Piero looked at Cheng Yan's face and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have a candidate?"
……
In the training ground, Tartaglia and Cheng Yan were called down early.
Cheng Yan strode forward with no expression on his face, but Tartaglia flexed his wrist with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's the hurry? It's only afternoon now, the sun hasn't even set yet."
It was a rare opportunity for Cheng Yan to agree to spar with him, but he was called off before the match even started. He didn't know when he would have the chance again.
The Fatui soldier who interrupted the two men changed his previous harsh tone and now apologized to them with a smile on his face.
"I'm so sorry. I just received a sudden notice from my superiors that you two will have a very important and high-intensity competition tomorrow, so I asked you to finish your training early today so that you can prepare."
"The intensity is very high? Who is the opponent?" Tartaglia asked, his eyes revealing the anticipation he could not conceal.
The soldiers of the Fatui coughed lightly, "Don't be afraid. Your opponent tomorrow will be the honorable Executioner."
Cheng Yan tilted his head and looked seriously, "Which executive is it?"
The soldier touched his nose and said, "I don't know yet, but now every executive officer is extremely powerful. No matter who you face, you must be cautious."
Cheng Yan pursed his lips. He was not afraid of the opponent's strength. He was afraid of what would happen if the opponent was Zazan. How could they possibly fight when he threw himself into Zazan's arms before he was even on the ring?
The more he thought about it, the scarier it became. Cheng Yan walked out and wanted to find Dotorei to confirm things.
Tartaglia called him, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Yan slapped his forehead and spoke in a weak voice.
"I'll go get ready, or I'll die a miserable death tomorrow."
May the Emperor bless me, but please don’t let it be Zan Zan.
Walking back with a fuzzy mind, Cheng Yan pushed open the door, but the room was empty.
Falling headfirst on the bed, Cheng Yan closed his eyes and thought.
The highest authority in Winter is the Queen. Although Zanzan seems to have a very high status among the Fatui, he still has to obey the orders of the Queen.
If he really stands on the ring tomorrow, no matter whether his opponent is Zanzan or not, he seems to be unable to casually deal with it. But what if his identity is exposed? A Liyue person comes to Zhidong and wants to become an executive. It sounds like a spy.
Cheng Yan didn't care about being misunderstood. Although he had no bad intentions, it was normal for others to be suspicious of him given his status.
But what should he do with Zazan? Zazan must have worked very hard to get to his current position. What if he brings trouble to Zazan because of his identity and the Queen of Winter no longer trusts him?
Ah, coming here to look for Zanzan without any hesitation was such a bad move. Is he going to destroy the kingdom that Zanzan had worked so hard to build? !
Cheng Yan turned over in bed in distress.
If Zanzan can't stay in the winter...
A thought suddenly appeared in Cheng Yan's mind. If Zazan lost his identity as an executive, although he would have less power, he would also have fewer constraints.
In this way, Zanzan can stay with me forever.
I can take him to Liyue and see him every day...
No, it doesn't seem possible.
Lord Emperor and Jin Peng were in Liyue. Cheng Yan already felt guilty, but he brought them back openly. He couldn't even imagine what kind of Shura scene he would experience.
But I really want to go back to Liyue with Zanzan, at least to introduce him to Master.
But how should I introduce myself?
Friends? You don’t have to think about it to know that Zanzan will be angry.
But the master has already confirmed the relationship between Wendy and me, and I can't let the master think that I am flirting with other girls.
Cheng Yan grabbed his hair with both hands, feeling for the umpteenth time that he had really dug a big hole for himself.
How do modern Aquamans maintain their relationships?
Cheng Yan was in agony and wished he could become more skilled in dealing with people.
Those sea kings seem to be able to settle all their lovers with just money.
But what about Cheng Yan? All his money was given by the person he liked, and the people who liked Cheng Yan wanted Cheng Yan's affection. But Cheng Yan couldn't give them all, and he couldn't even treat them equally.
"I'm a scumbag."
Cheng Yan lay on the bed and doubted his life. He thought about every person he met and how he only cared about the good things they had done for him, but he had only given a pitiful portion in return.
Cheng Yan's emotions were fluctuating wildly due to his anxiety, and the system, which had not spoken for a long time and affected the progress, couldn't help but remind him.
[Host, there is no point in thinking so much. Just look at whoever is in front of you.]
The system couldn't help but frown when it saw Cheng Yan's somewhat decadent look.
As expected from the beginning, it is easy to gain true love by giving true love, but precisely because of giving true love, the host himself is now more unable to get out of it than the target object, which is very unfavorable to the mission.
[Host, becoming an executive officer is not as disadvantageous as you think. Target Morax is in charge of Liyue. His strength is unmatched in the entire Teyvat. No country would want to take the initiative to conflict with Liyue. If you become an executive officer, it will only make the diplomacy between Zhidong and Liyue smoother.]
Cheng Yan raised his head silently, "Promise that the Emperor will not break my legs when he finds out that I've become a minion of a god from another country."
[…The target Morax’s current favorability is 97. He treats you better than anyone else. What are you worried about?]
Cheng Yan sighed, "This matter only solved a small problem I encountered."
Stretch out fingers and gesture. Cheng Yan knew that with the temperament of Lord Emperor and Master, no matter what he did, as long as it was not against the law, they would not be too angry.
The most difficult thing is his messy love history!
